Friday, January 04, 2002 2:38 PM WTC Victim's Compensation Fund Dear Sir: My name is and I am the husband of who was killed in tower 2 of the WTC on September 11. I writing to complain of the offer that Kenneth Feinberg as Special Master is making to families of the victims. was for , and as such, received a salary and bonuses commensurate with her difficult and demanding job. As responsible parents to our four year old daughter, , and to ourselves we had life insurance for . According to Feinberg's governement offer for the loss of income and related compensation, we as a family would receive essentially nothing. In addition, if part of the purpose of the government compensation is to prevent litigation, then this policy clearly forces families like ours to litigate for the pain and suffering that experienced as well as other families that I know who lost executives at . It is particular upsetting to make distinctions between victims with life insurance and those without since it penalizes responsible families who have been paying life insurance premiums for years. It is also terribly insulting to the victims who lost their lives in this attack to find that their own government is trying to nickel and dime their surviving families while huge bailouts are occuring for big business. I want to say that I am not the only member of a victim's family with this reaction to the present "offer". It is very hurtful to be wronged by an attack that led to the death of our spouses, and then to be wronged by a government trying to be cheap in the face of a national disaster. I urge that you the government offer be fair to all victims of the WTC disaster. To do less is to extend the disaster and the suffering.
